Across The White Wall

Got no card so I got no soul
Life is prison, no parole, no control
Jura got my number on a wire tap
'Cause I Jack for similac, fuck a Cadillac
Survive, one motive, no hope
'Cause every sidewalk I walk is like a tightrope
Yes, I know, my deadline sire, when my life expires
I'm sendin' paper south under the barbed wire
The mother of my child will lose her mind at my grave
It's my life for their life so call it a free trade
Por vida and our name upon the stall
I took a death trip when I tried to cross the white wall
Tried to cross the white wall
Death trip
White wall
White wall
White wall
White wall
I tried to look back to my past long lost
A blood donor to the land owner holocaust
Pops heart stopped, in came the air drop
Flooded the trench he couldn't shake the toxic shock
Maize was all we needed to sustain
Now her golden skin burns, insecticide rain
Down with DDT, yeah you know me
I'm raped for the grapes, profit for the bourgeoisie
War tape boomin', path is Luminoso
I'm headed north like my name was kid 'Cisco
To survive one motive no hope
It's hard to breathe with Wilson's head around my throat
Strangled and mangled another SS curtain call
When I tried to cross the white wall
Tried to cross the white wall
Death trip
White wall
White wall
White wall
White wall
